Six Iranian gunboats unsuccessfully attempted to halt a U.S.-flagged oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday,
The Wall Street Journal reported.

Instead, the tanker sped up and was ultimately escorted to safety by a
U.S. Navy vessel, according to the Journal.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment...
Operation Preying Mantis was about 40 years ago. Will we get a repeat?
